Re: Life is Strange (5 eps on 360,XO,PS3,PS4,PC) - Time Lords and hipsters, apply wit
Visiting relatives with a PS4, I re-downloaded this game to let a couple of Jr. High-age nieces start playing. While I can't experience this game for the first time again, it was fun watching a couple of others do so. We finished a couple of chapters, but they're already asking their parents for money to download the game themselves. The end of episode 2 was a shocker for them:

I am almost through the first episode and this game isn't really doing anything for me. I see all the praise. Should I stick with it. If you don't care after the first episode, should you continue? Is it more of the same or does it ramp up after the first episode?

I say play the first two episodes. End of episode two is a big deal. If you're still not into it by then, this game just isn't for you.

Yeah, I can see some thinking it starts slow, but I'd go with what Dan said. Stick with it for a bit longer to give it a fair shake.

The coverart with the girl's face almost looks like Taylor Swift.

So, I bought this during the last xbox one sale. I finished it the other night and really liked it a lot. I thought it was the best story telling in a videogame I have seen (not that I have played that many games with quality storytelling). Generally I think videogames aren't well written at all when compared to quality novels, movies and tv shows. However, I think I would actually point to this game as an example of the kind of quality that is possible with the medium. I really liked it a lot.

Did you kiss Chloe?
Did you kill the plant in your room by over or under watering it?
Did you Hug, Kiss, Diss or Fuck Warren!?

watered it once
kissed, though he deserved a little more than that I thought.
One thing that I found interesting was after each chapter there were a number of items like "choose not to do this or that" and I'm like, I had no idea that was even there. I also didn't bother trying to get every picture. I was mostly focused on story choices. I think that some of the video game troupes like all of the pictures would have detracted from the experience had I tried to engage in them. Someone posted about feeling weird that you had to snoop around a friends room to discover a piece of information to make the "correct" choice when talking with the person on the roof. Little things like that seemed out of place. Overall though, I think that the game was great.

Always cool to see people getting into it. In terms of storytelling and characters, this game is top-notch.And if anyone has 600 Square-Enix points to spare:
Life is Strange - Vinyl Soundtrack & Score
That's the only way to get the soundtrack on vinyl, apparently. I want it so bad, but you have to make like $300 in purchases to get that many points.

This is $5. What kind of game is this? I've read some reviews, but really didn't explain gameplay. Couldn't find any video reviews. Do you control a player?

Open world, third person cover based shooter with some light RPG elements. There is also a great mini game that doesn't get much discussion for some reason, that uses the Kinect/PS4 camera where Max hunts for Wowzers (the alien threat disrupting the time stream) in your living/gaming room.
